- Priestess, you will carry out your duties today.
Rev. Richard Lopez, servants of the death row inmates .
what comes to your mind... about people
that you will meet in a minute for the next hour,
actually the rest of his life is no more than an hour.
- I will carry out this work without expecting much.
I only share things the Lord have provided for me,
for him, everyone who needs,
and I won't put any prejudices.
not the time.
I will let everything go like what should happen,
over time.
Our loving God, omnipotent,
full of mercy, forgiveness.
Either when you like or sorrow,
in full trial or trouble,
God is always there for us. </ P>
I want to declare His presence in their lives. </ P>
- Technically when the execution will be executed,
what did you do at that time?
- $ after I finished my assignment.
as long as the preparation for execution was done,
I moved away, and stood up <
I'm always asking permission to stand next to his feet
and holding his ankles,
If allowed /> I took that position,
and put my hand at her,
that's what I did
until she exhaled her last breath.
- If there are no relatives
who takes care of his body,
will you take care of his body?
- Right, they will be buried here state burial park,
and the country that conducted the funeral.
Their names will not be listed on the cross, using only numbers.
- Why God allow death penalty like this?
- I don't know the answer.
I am sure that there is always a plan
when God allow something to happen.
God has created so many things in this world.
Sometimes I play golf.
I like the atmosphere of when playing golf,
because at that time, my cellphone's ring was off.
I was there alone without any interference,
and I can gaze at the beautiful grass.
I can see squirrels, who are always running around.
Deer are sometimes seen.
When I look around golf courses,
looks like an ox or a horse, and... and I... and I stop,
and I realize life.
Life,
is something that God created.
- You can tell < br /> your story when you see squirrels?
- A story about me and a squirrel,
I am riding a golf cart again, to continue my game... </ p >
when passing the golf course, I see two squirrels...
are chasing, my train goes towards them,
and they're run across the path I will pass,
then I stop the train,
and the squirrels stop in the middle of my path
and look at me, then I think, "What will happen?"
"If I don't stop,
" One of the squirrels might be crushed. </ P>
they will die. "</ P>
This reminds me...
to the people I have accompanied
just before their death,
by choosing and doing things wrong, they...
their lives were taken right away.
So life is really valuable, squirrel
or human
I often reflect on that experience.
Even though it's a bit troublesome, but the squirrels can pass
and they can move on,
but I can't do the same thing.
for people in the execution chair,
I can't cancel the execution.
I hope to cancel it.
Towards the bottomless pit
Life story, death story
- Well, yeah.
You haven't used a cable (sound),
we have to install the cable first
Michael Perry, a prisoner of life in the Polunsky unit, Livingston Texas, for crimes committed 10 years ago.
He and his accused accused Jason Burkett committed 3 murders while still a teenager. Now he is 28. </ P>
He will be executed on July 1, 2010
Michael Perry, now we all,
all the teams that are there,
want to deliver our condolences.
for your father's death.
- Right, on the 10th.
My father died 13 days ago.
- 13 days ago.
- Well, the 10th.
- But you will also be serving a sentence dead will be executed...
- Right.
- Only 8 days left. - Right sir.
- How your situation?
- You know... I'm a Christian, so...
I believe that... on the one hand heaven has waiting for me </ p >
on the other side is the opposite, so I say to people,
If I'm going back to my place or going home, so...
I will return to the ground or go home to God,
so..., the closer the time is,
can feel the pressure inside myself.
This is usually called clinical pressure where I want to do activities
decreases further, my energy decreases.
Frustration will... rules exist.
How do they not understand, situation what is wrong?
You know, used to be... I like to write
and have a lot of energy,
and now I don't have it anymore.
I feel I'm defeated.
- I assume, if it's fate, on one side
have written this bad luck.
Not to defend you,
even if we meet now,
doesn't mean I agree with you,
but I respect you, as fellow human beings,
and in my opinion, humans should not be sentenced to death
- Hmm - That should be.
- Right.
- Lieutenant, this place looks comfortable and safe too.
- That is, you will think so.
Obviously, this is a closed area.
The house here is big,
is also expensive,
and people will assume if this place...
is very quiet,
and of course it's safe.
However, the house over there is the location
where Sandra Stotler was killed.
This way Michael Perry and Jason Burkett
park the car
then enter... and kill it. </ P>
See the condition of the victim when found,
when that, he is middle making a cake,
this can be seen from the available evidence.
Found... there cakes that not yet finished.
also cake dough.
So the event happened when he was making a cake.
- but actually their main motive is not to kill.
- Yes, from the information collected before,
at first they...
I mean "them" Michael Perry, Jason Burkett,
Adam Stotler, and Jeremy Richardson...
they get acquainted
through other fellow friends
they haven't known each other before,
then they... get to know each other,
and from acknowledgments that exist... the reason they came here
with the intention of asking Adam Stotler
to allow them to stay that night
saying that they did not have a place to stay,
then looked for an opportunity got the car key
then stole it.
That's what they really are,
the red Camaro car in the garage.
when they came and talked with his mother,
his mother said that his child was away,
so they leave,
and that's when their plans change,
they will kill the mother and take the car.
Then they returned the house,
the garage door when it opened,
and the entrance of the house too.
Michael Perry , according to his acknowledgment,
enter through the garage door go to the loundry room
while Jason Burkett knocks from the front door.
happened to be parked on this road,
he reasoned the car broke down
and asked to be allowed to borrow the phone ask someone for help.
The mother allows her to enter to use the telephone,
and while Jason is on the phone,
Michael Perry is hiding in the loundry room
knock from the direction of the back garage door,
then go to the garage door to see,
then Michael comes out of the loundry room and
that's when he shot him.
The garage door stayed open
until our officer arrived for the investigation.
The main bedroom,
which is in the section at the back of this house
right behind the garage,
from there the two children it take sprey,
blanket and...
and use it to wrap the corpse.
They carry it, put in the truck,
and took it to Lake Crater
to be dumped there.
- Then why did they get that way?
the influence of drugs?
- You know, so far I don't know
the evidence that shows,
there is a correlation between drugs in this case.
I mean, to be honest. The reason is the car.
The mother has the car the two young people want,
so You know...
It's a pity, someone died of theft.
Night when we were here.
Besides it was dark,
the situation is much worse
there are lots of debris and garbage here.
This place is... used to be a dump.
Trash makes this lake rarely traveled.
Actually, there are several other bodies
that we found in this lake.
This is the lake.
This part is divided,
where there are traces of car tires just above this land.
When they arrive at this place,
they back up the truck tightly
then brakes suddenly,
so that the corpse immediately throws away,
but it doesn't work, so, once again,
according to their acknowledgment
I don't know whether that actually happened,
but we can know that...
doesn't exist clear tire tracks left in this land.
maybe you can conclude if this is...
tire trails that are circling
this seems more appropriate with the actual event,
but they finally carried the corpse
took it there,
and threw it into the water.
We can't know for sure events that occurred through investigation here
and when carrying out an investigation at Sandra Stotler's house,
we still cannot know
if there are other victims < br /> other than him.
This is the gate Highland Ranch complex.
Where's the house where Sandra Stotler was killed
is inside there.
When Michael Perry and Jason Burkett came back here
to get the Camaro car they were looking for,
this gate. .. closed and locked,
so they can't enter,
then they park while waiting
until Adam Stotler and Jeremy Richardson returned home,
and after finally meeting they are invited to forest
and... and kill them to get
gate openers so they can...
open this gate
then go home
and take the Camaro car.
- So just because it's not has a key entered
because this gate is closed at night,
two other young children must die.
- Right sir. That's the cause. </ P>
- Lieutenant, Jason Burkett and Michael Perry
are proud of what they have done. </ P>
How true is this? </ P>
- So, this is proven from the recognition of some people. </ P>
Not just one. </ P>
We get the report from several people
from different places
where they had time to tell if they killed
and in that way got a car.
This is very convincing.
I mean, we believe it.
Although, once again, we... we have no proof
that there were other victims at that time
- Only after Perry confessed,
he showed the location of from the bodies of the two young people.
- Right.
- Instantly when I hear about mother...
his body has been found,
my day is full of uncertainty.
I'm watching the news.
It was Monday,
and I saw the helicopter above Ronnie's car stopped.
Well, we live in a large area so I still hope a lot
I said, "Adam is going on vacation. And soon to go home."
Because the area is the area in and out of my house.
So I told my husband.
"Enter the car. We go there."
& apos; because they asked the location of the incident,
there's a helicopter,
My sister's car is in the news.
So we headed for the location of Ronnie's car,
and I saw knick-knacks that is in the car,
and I'm happy, "oh, it's not Adam's car.
That's not the knick-knacks of the car."
- "knick-knacks" you mean?
- Stickers that are there... - "Gauge," "AB"?
- Well, I see the knick-knacks. </ P>
Aku senang, "oh, bukan mobilnya."
You know, when I saw the car's license plate.
The car was full of holes bullet marks,
after it was done chase
and managed to catch them in the apartment complex,
and I followed all of the events,
they left the location then went to hospital,
then let me know... and this is what I've been waiting for
because Adam has disappeared since Wednesday,
and it's been days Monday, I ask,
"Please tell me, is Adam there?" </ P>
They say, "Adam got shot",
and was taken to the hospital. "
At that time, Michael Perry claimed to be Adam.
He escaped detention.
- Perry holding Adam's identification.
You believe... - I believe he is still alive.
- Your brother survived, only hurt,
because you got the news Adam congratulations...
- Shot.
- got shot and was in the hospital.
- And I... you know, Thankful.
Thank God.
Then I tried to call some hospitals
find out where the hospital is,
I explained the characteristics,
Finally there was a nurse,
he said, "This child not as you mentioned." </ p >
- But you have hoped, I mean, basically there is hope
if your sister survives only hurts.
- Yes. - Still alive. </ P>
- Yah. </ P>
- And right away...
- Duniaku terasa runtuh.
Everything is dead.
I called lieutenant Davidson,
he asked me to come to the police station,
and I said,
"I'm seeing you on TV now. </ P>
just say if it's Adam." </ P>
And he said, "I hope you
can see me at the office. "
I said," Just say it. "
The answer, " Well, this is Adam. "
" This his body, "
my knees felt weak,
I never realized it if the knees can be weak, you know...
that expression is true, < br /> "Weakness is on the knees."
My knees are weak, and fall to the floor.
- This is Lindsey Lane.
This location is our get
from acknowledgment Michael Perry
that we will find two other bodies
namely Adam Stotler and Jeremy Richardson.
We are following this road, and are scattered.
we get to the end of the road,
and we did it on foot
and found Adam's body.
They were invited to this place
on the grounds that found their friend
who was injured while hunting.
This house hasn't been there at that time.
You can see, < br /> this is a way out,
how is the situation around,
so we don't know for sure
where exactly the location in question
p>
The location where the body was found.
when we conducted an investigation
when moving the body, we raised it,
there is also one other cigarette butt around it
Cigarette butts originating from from under the victim's body
after being analyzed in the DNA Laboratory ,
matches Perry's DNA.
- Which means his body collapsed / fell...
- Falled on the cigarette's fortune
that was previously disposed of by the owner.
One more body namely Jeremy Richardson.
Where we found the body,
is in the middle of the branch < br /> trees that are difficult to reach.
We don't know how until it can be there.
We have trouble issuing it must be with the help of a machine
to cut twigs and tree trunks.
Jeremy, he got away and he was shot
while running.
I'm not sure, what's the cause
Is it because you heard the gunshot then you were scared,
or because Jason stabbed him with a gun
he had noticed this danger,
then try to run away.
- Charles, you lost your sister, Jeremy.
Do you remember the first time heard the news?
- I'm in Georgia,
got a call from my aunt
who told me to go home.
There's bad news.
I want to call.
But at that time, my money isn't there,
home phone can't be used for long distance </ p >
I tried the phone (cost by destination number) my grandfather accepted.
But he was not willing...
He didn't want to pay 2 dollars to talk to me
tell me that my sister died.
I can only hope aunt called back
and asked what happened,
he finally called, at first I thought,
maybe just for lip service, he asks
"Do you know Jason Burkett?"
Kujawab, "Yah."
He said , "Something has happened,
your brother died," and,...
originally came to mind, you know,
Jason drives a car, careless fruit
as is his habit and has an accident,
but what aunt says is not that,
Jason who killed him because of a car.
I... I'm weak.
I'm weak.
My uncle come and pick me up, and, uh...
We go home in his car.
- And your father?
Where is he?
- Prison.
- The sentence is heavy?
- This is the first time
he was imprisoned for murder.
- All my life?
- No.
First he served his sentence 15 years in prison,
then free about 1 year,
he left, then got a life sentence,
he almost finished his sentence.
- And you are under the influence of drugs at the funeral?
- Well, I fly again during the funeral.
The police said I violated my parole agreement.
they came to arrest me during the funeral...
Can I ask for an explanation the reason for all this?
I mean, it doesn't matter to say to them,
because of the possession of drugs
- so you are detained and taken into custody,
when your sister's funeral is?
- Well, during the funeral
The police are coming.
There are 6 people and they check me
and say that I will have to be taken immediately </ p >
I request, to get relief at least until
the funeral is over.
- Then you make a tear tattoo...
what do you mean?
- I lost... younger brother and sister.
- The man killed.
What about sister
- He wants to go home,
and cross the road,
and get hit by a car.
- Can you tell me about your sister < br /> Jeremy?
Can it be shown?
- Jeremy is...
beloved child.
She's good, trusting her friends.
The problems she does are just for...
to get attention,
but he never made a serious problem.
He won't... do something that is too far off.
Problems made only make us laugh, you know,
like chatting in class, and things like that.
He likes to hang out with people.
Many like it and, uh
Everyone says I should
who deserves to die 21 is not Jeremy.
- You love it?
- Of course.
He... is my best friend.
He's my best friend since childhood.
It's just my family.
- You always take care of it.
- I'm trying.
My departure is the only my fault for him.
I introduced him to the person who killed him.
He always says,
only the two of us can rely on each other. </ P>
Now I say the same thing to my wife. </ P>
Both of us can rely on each other. </ P>
- I heard since got the report
until they were caught, no more than a week.
That's right, about 5 to 7 days.
- You arrived at the scene of the incident where were they arrested?
- Yes, right .
- Can you tell me?
are there any resistance?
- yes, they fight.
There is a truck that stops... .
now the truck has been moved,
but the truck was located somewhere
in the parking lot,
waste disposal warehouse,
then crossed there is an apartment complex,
so the location of the incident starts from the parking lot
continue towards apartment complex.
There is a shootout.
There is a former bullet projectile at the shooting location
between them and the officer
There is a broken car,
and, only there are some people at that place.
- Officers are injured?
- yes, shot in the leg.
There is a broken car,
p>
and all the glasses
broke due to gunfire.
Burket and Perry, both of them got hit.
Jason Burkett got hit 3 shots,
and I'm not so sure with Perry's condition,
but they... both were injured hit by shooting
and also broken glass.
- So at that time, was really tense,
and you experienced that situation.
Did you really start a shot or.
- How did it happen...
- I didn't mean not polite but in my opinion...
- Well, I can tell.
I can say that... I was proven guilty...
I've been living 10 years out of my 15 years, so...
- Well, I know. - At that time we were sleepy.
We drank at night.
We slept in a car
because no longer strong to get to the motel
which is across the fence.
I don't remember anyone who is in the car.
How can we be in one car.
I don't know his name.
I'm the same
Michael Perry and I just drank,
along with the people who were caught with us that night.
I remember I woke up and the car was shot. </ P>
I looked around. </ P>
Michael Perry is gone. </ P>
There are only young people another next to me,
it turns out Perry was in the back seat,
he entered from the back door,
then the door closed.
I turn on the car then run away,
and all say, "You shouldn't run.
You shouldn't run."
I have been shot,
and not to be shot again the only way
is to run away,
I was half conscious at that time.
I don't understand murder.
I don't know what they want...
I don't know my mistake.
I don't even know do they know me.
And when I try to run,
there are police in front of the right.
I turn right,
and he shoots my hand.
- How severe is your wound?
- I got shot here.
- Can you lift it a little?
- I hit it here.
at the beginning, hands, fingers. </ p >
I got it here.
I got it here,
and here.
Here, there is a car part and pierced.
- and hasn't been issued?
so how can you get away from metal sensors?
- Well, it was issued after that.
Finally it can be issued inside the prison.
My groin is hit broken glass
from the windshield.
I hit the building because I could no longer drive.
My blood was scattered in the car.
According to them, "Your DNA is similar to a gun." </ P>
My DNA is everywhere. </ P>
I got shot. My blood is in Michael Perry's body. </ P>
There in the seat I was shot.
Blood splattered everywhere.
After crashing, I ran out
I ran away.
Run towards the building
There the police opened fire on the building
that we hit.
They shot from various directions.
The building window part back the shape is like this.
So you can't pass yourself from it.
I shot the glass once.
Maybe I shouldn't do it,
but I'm stuck, and panic.
don't know what to do.
and when we succeed, we run to the apartment
and, you know... I carry Perry
we made it into that department. </ P>
- You... did all that without giving up. </ P>
I remember reading
that Michael shouted, "It's time.
keep firing the wall," or so about...
"Let's jump. we reply to them." </ P>
do you remember those words? </ P>
- I've read that they said, "keep firing the walls,"
or so.
I don't argue with that.
That's probably what he said.
- The atmosphere was very noisy. lots of gunshots.
- I haven't really realized what happened. </ p >
All I know, we have to go from that place.
- Well.
- And... and he yells, "Shoot hold the wall, "they say.
- Well, how do I say that?
I didn't mean too much details about...
what what happened,
the truth is there 3 people were killed.
- Mm-hmm.
- And you deny, not location of the incident...
how are you...
- Now, that's not what is a question.
nothing can be questioned < if I'm not guilty.
That question is over.
The question is, what can be done people about it at this time
I mean, for example you are now here with your friends.
They come to motel by car.
You will think, if the car is...
you know, they are your friends, </ p >
So when Jason came picked me up by car,
I thought there was no problem.
You got on the car then got arrested, </ p >
and then you find out that he killed for the car,
You ended up dead in Texas now.
Your life ends here
because you trust one of your friends
who came and picked you up by car
that not only stolen .
- But trusting Jason is the wrong choice.
- Oh, of course. - I mean, let's see.
He's like a rotten apple and so are you.
- I don't have home and forced, so...
- use drugs and steal. </ P>
- He offered me medicine he offered me a place to stay.
He gave food, so I chose it...
That's my choice, which I shouldn't choose.
I regret it every... every minute now.
Every minute counts, huh?
Every minute is very valuable.
The conclusion of all this, you know,
they can... all can do the same thing.
Be in the wrong situation and at the wrong time,
and there is no warning about the consequences.
You definitely want to leave Texas as soon as possible, huh?
They might catch you anytime, huh?
- I went to my friend's house. <
There is someone there, and wants to fight with me,
he ran towards me as soon as I got out of the truck,
and... and... I ignore it.
You understand what I mean?
"Get away, bro, I don't have a problem with you."
People say he said entering stabbed me
when I got out of the truck.
You know, he was like chasing me,
so I... turned around, look at the man,
and I dodge, I want to take off my shirt,
I take off my shirt... like this,
and release it through the elbow.
I almost took off my shirt, and at that time,
he stabbed me here with a screwdriver, you know,
screwdriver so far, the brand is Phillips,
you know, the screwdriver is thin, < br /> and length.
Stabbed up to the job, uh...
- Until the business? - Up to the business.
- Why can it get that deep?
- Possible, maybe about this.
Put it straight... straight from my hand,
enter in the chest,
and I'm not hospitalized or treat it.
- Do you feel that time? You feel the screwdriver... </ p >
- Well, only... Feels...
you know, something entered when it was stabbed.
That's what I felt,
I jumped back away,
and... I see, my friend threw me a knife,
I saw that knife on the ground,
I want, you know,
I say in my heart,
"I want to go home meet my child today. "
so I didn't take the knife,
then my other friends arrived,
I should have arrived where I worked inside 30 minutes. </ P>
Not making it up, I live...
I stayed at home with Jason's brother. </ P>
The name, Chris Burkett ?
I live at home with him.
- Chris wasn't jailed at that time?
- No.
- </ P>
- No. </ P>
They told me
to go to the hospital or treat it,
but it feels like it.... like a child
not much blood,
I think I'm fine.
I'm very sure.
So I was lucky at the time.
- But you haven't been involved in a legal problem before?
- Me I've been involved in a crime.
I'm involved only once...
- But now you work?
- Yes. - You have a job ?
- Well, and for more than four years no legal problems.
- Can I see your hand? - Yah.
- From your hand, it looks like you are a rough worker. </ P>
Your job... - Yeah. </ P>
- At the paint shop? - Yes
- Cars. - Yes.
- Parts of the car body repair? - Yes.
- And your tattoo?
Can I see it? Can you show me?
- Bailey.
- You've been with him when you met Burkett? </ p >
- No. - Not yet, uh-huh.
- No.
I've been with him for 3 years,
and have a baby of 17 months
- Oh, yeah. so you live together?
- Yah.
- Tatomu is permanent?
- Well, this is permanent.
Can't deleted.
- Then what if you break up?
What about the tattoo?
- I thought just add "Bailey Damn "here.
(laughs)
- Can you tell me about Jason Burkett?
How did you meet? How did you know him?
What do you know about him?
- When you first met,
looks like he's a cool person, you know? </ p >
So we spend time together,
I know him to some women and many things,
and then we often hunt.
One time, he tried killed me.
I introduced him to a girl,
there is a problem between sigadis father and him.
I do not know the cause.
Because of that, he thinks I am eyeing the girl
then he came home my female friend
and threatened with a gun.
My friend told me to come out,
it was dinner, </ p >
he chased me with a gun.
so we fought for 45 minutes
with a gun aiming at my head in the girl's house.
The gun is 22 caliber one shotgun.
Well, pointed out... head to my head,
wants to shoot my head.
we fight around the house
until I hide in the bedroom,
he was about to kick the door,
so I opened it and let him in.
because I didn't want he ruined this girl's house ,
after that, we fought again
he hit me on the bed, and pulled the trigger of the gun.
- You got shot?
- No, the shot failed,
the bullet could come out from the gun,
you know bullet type 22, shaped like...
spheres, the bottom is flat.
If the size is too short,
the trigger is not hit by bullets, and the shot fails.
But this one hit, and I don't know why I wasn't shot.
- You're lucky. - Yah.
- Very lucky.
- Well, like magic.
(laughs)
(spits)
But, well, it's really lucky.
And then he killed those people,
I grieved for his family. </ p >
One time, me and my friend Justin were hanging out at the bar,
then he came with a new car, he and Perry,
we asked, "Hey",
where is this new car? "
He replied, " Oh, we are a joint "...
he and Perry joint venture
playing the lottery
then win and buy 2 cars.
Yes, me and my friend know that's not true,
because they're both criminals, can you know?
There's no way they bought it...
none of them have a SIM,
and again... you know, the car is very complete,
there is a CD, there is a skateboard, and there are other equipment,
so we know... there must be something,
They give a chance < br /> for those who want to try the car.
- Jason and Michael come to the bar
to show off, the car that just bought
at first, we... everyone doesn't understand.
They explained that they bought lottery tickets,
from there they got money /> to buy the car,
and at that time, it was somewhat suspicious.
- Something's not right?
- The number of lotteries that won there are 4000 dollars.
And they say, exchanged at the gas station.
Very unusual.
And cars- the car is invisible like
new from a car showroom.
- You had a chance to try that car?
- I'm riding in it. I'm not the driver.
Well, they're... Jason and Michael
allows everyone to try it,
and I tried both of them.
The Camaro is red, when trying it,
they showed a gun.
A 12 gauge shotgun gun,
the other one I don't remember,
and that night, the gun lay so just in the car.
Of the rumors I heard, they are...
making plans to steal my roommate's car
at home what I put in first,
saw that gun, I got scared,
& apos; because I could get involved.
If he came to the house and plan
take the car from the parking lot, what is my fate?
I throw away that thought
I try to ignore it
and don't think about it.
See the life of that I have lived,
even though I work at a bar,
I've felt the beauty of life and I won't want to get involved.
Then I persuaded them to take me home
- Jason ever boasted about his crime?
- Not to me and my friend Justin.
We don't even know what already happened
They came... picked us up from Justin's house,
by the police, and took us,
and asked "You read the newspaper?"
I said, "I'm illiterate",
but they don't believe it,
they see my biodiversity and it seems that I'm illiterate,
So they read the word for me,
and told what they did.
- Mm-hmm.
Now you can read? </ P>
- Oh, yeah. </ P>
- Even though it's late, you start learning to read. </ P>
- Well, I learned to read
- It's amazing isn't it?
This is something valuable.
- Well, great.
- Your knowledge now broader
- Yah.
- How do you feel when you're illiterate?
You have to be smarter than other people
to know about what is happening.
- Yah.
When you can't read there are always thoughts like...
I mean, & apos; they won't always be there
someone to read it to you. "
I learned to read in prison
so now I can write and read letters,
besides that, I didn't intend to go back to my past,
but I'm happy to be able to learn to read there.
- So your life has improved? - Oh, yeah.
busy at work < br /> paint and repair the car body.
- and read? - Oh, yeah.
- write?
- rarely write.
Lots of sandpaper?
(laughs)
- I want to know your relationship with Michael Perry.
How did you meet ?
What is your life?
- In 2000, I have a boyfriend.
He has friends, Miranda.
I'm on the road go to jail,
I saw miranda across the street
arguing with Michael Perry,
I stopped, and asked what was the problem?
he said, "he just needs to be divided, </ p >
"I can't allow...
" You know, he can't stay there again.
"My father saw it...
"This morning, my father fought with him.
He can't stay there."
So he lives in the trunk of a car,
and I said, "I don't know what to say."
and he asked, "Can he stay with you?"
at that time, I replied
"No, he can't."
Then he looked at me, I saw he was sad and crying,
and he said, "please , only for one month. "
At that time we stayed in the mobile home,
and I said, "You can stay with me."
"Take your things, put into my truck, we go home."
And since that, I gave him food, money,
took care of him.
He was like my sister ..
younger brother because of being forced
he's older than me a few months,
but I have to take care of him because he has nothing.
No have anyone.
Little do I know, he has a supportive family.
His father and mother both support.
It's just that he doesn't want to be set.
He's like me don't want to follow the rules,
therefore finally he lives with me ,
& apos; Said his parents, "works and you can stay here."
He doesn't want to work.
- You've been on a trip far to Florida.
What is the story? What happened?
- Basically, I
what I mean?
I'm not suitable with nature and insects
weather...
So when I was told to follow a 2-week canoe boat trip
- Which sounds interesting for me, but...
- Well, I like canoeing,
what is the problem...
The problem is not the canoe boat
The natural atmosphere is problematic
We see crocodiles everywhere </ p >
My question,...
I'm not so sure will reach your destination...
what happens if I fall </ p >
and eaten by crocodiles?
who is responsible?
Did my parents not want me again?
Crocodiles are everywhere.
- As a 13-year-old child... seeing crocodiles so
will run away soon, is that so?
- Yeah. Well, yeah.
- Then what happened? You don't....
- About the third or fourth day.
We are boating until before the night then stops.
I think they have determine its location,
sometimes we stop at midnight.
Lots of insects... you can catch and your hands are full of insects.
and they told us to cook dinner,
you know, I can't cook,
One of the goals the trip is
teach the accuracy...
every time there is an action there will be a reaction,
So the accuracy of affects our decisions,
one thing I learned is
if you don't pay attention to the lesson...
we are given a bag for equipment,
you have to take care of it properly, the bag is not waterproof.
I didn't listen, my bag fell to the water,
all of my stuff is wet, so my tent isn't there.
I don't have the toilet is again,
and I don't like it.
Basically, I'm stubborn,
I told them "You know?"
"I don't want to continue. Take me away. "</ P>
- But you weren't attacked by crocodiles... not a crocodile that's the cause...
- No, we were attacked by monkeys, I recall. </ P>
- Monkey. The story? </ P>
- The monkeys jumped from one tree
please say around our location
and try to get close,
don't know the monkey came from which direction,
very many monkeys
a lot.
I want to get out and catch one,
but they say the monkey is carrying disease
- So... the best possibility,
If you were released in 2041
how old are you going to be?
Has this ever happened?
Do you want to think about it?
- I'm 59, 60.
Now I'm 19.
My law is 40 years,
I'll be my age 59 years old. </ P>
is very long. </ P>
- enters the stage after the trial phase is complete,
during your sentence determination, your father comes to court .
can explain the situation?
- I already know he will come,
and I know he will give a testimony,
but hear his testimony, like...
I was born with neuroblastomas.
I got 18 surgeries at the age of 5,
and I don't know a lot about that operation,
because it's something embarrassing and I want to avoid
I know he testified to relieve me,
I have suffered from a long time ago,
he saw me crying to sleep, and...
Very difficult, because I saw him crying. </ P>
If you've seen it,
height 6 & 6; 6 ", 6 & apos; 7", weighs 300 pounds, big body, has a tattoo.
- They picked him up from prison.
- He came from prison.
- Is he still in custody?
- He's across the street Ellis's unit.
- Mr. Burkett, how are you?
- I'm fine.
Healthy. Few diseases.
- How healthy is it? - Small pain.
- Mm-hmm.
How long is your sentence? </ P>
- 40. </ P>
- 40 years. - Yes. </ P>
- For eight crimes, what's true ?
- Yes. - Your punishment is very serious.
- Yes, correct.
- and before you too ever some
That's right?
- Right. - Yeah.
- I've been jailed 5 times.
- So how many years have it been? </ P>
- 2 years sentence, 5 years,
30 years and this is 40 years. </ P>
- Lots of it. - Yes. </ P>
- What's the cause? </ P>
- Obat-obatan dan alkohol.
- Can you explain?
- I started using drugs when I was 13,
taking and using drugs, and,... .
Selling and producing
stealing and unpacking
to fulfill my needs
and always end up in jail
- There is an important moment when your child, Jason
proven guilty of first-degree murder...
- Yes. - With 3 victim.
Towards the reading of the sentence, you are present in court.
Can you explain what you said to the jury?
- Yahh...
I explained how life was imprisoned,
and I explained... to them
that in my opinion, by killing it
won't return those people,
or can fix everything that has happened
and I say to the jury,
"Please, don't kill my child."
I ask
I say "Please, don't kill him."
He never gets a chance.
Don't have a father
I said that I didn't have been with him.
his mother is a single parent
who has 4 children,
he get problems
he can't afford
All the time, he lives in disability,
because of that they're right- really don't have...
they live on a food stand,
you know, a HUD type house
and... he... he really...
his life is very poor.
I asked the jury not to kill my son
That's not his fault.
I wish I...
I wish I could take over the sentence.
I wish it could, because I felt it is my fault.
This is really.
I feel.
My mistake is as big as the error,
& apos; because if I am on the side,
there is a possibility, maybe not,
but... the possibility is a different story.
He will have more opportunities good.
He has more opportunities,
if I'm there, help his mother raise him.
but I'm not there...
The judges rush to leave,
and the door is right on my right.
once the door is closed after they exit,
I heard sobs of two women. </ P>
I'm very emotional,
and cried at that moment,
when they passed the door, and the door was closed,
I heard 2 women crying.
They cry, and then...
When my testimony is over, my lawyer says,
He says... I remember the words </ p >
He said, "You saved your child"
- You saved his life.
- He said... "You saved him"
I said, "What do you mean?" </ P>
He said, "You saved him"
That saved him...
there were two voices. </ P>
10 versus 2, there are 2 votes that choose
not to kill him. </ P>
I think they are 2 women who are... </ p >
saved him.
- But you can be proud at that time.
- Yah.
I got other rocks too.
God helped me.
He did it.
I asked God for help, and He granted it.
I don't deserve getting help
He may not be worthy of help,
but we got it from a real place, so...
- The hardest part of when you see it
and when he sees me,
and I see him suffering,
how sorry he is
what has been done during my childhood,
he was jailed at that time.
I don't blame him,
but I can see if he understands
that what he did has an effect, and on one day I cried
after the whole trial was over...
after the sentence has been decided
one thing that hurts is my father's testimony.
- Every time I come and give a testimony,
his brother comes and gives testimony too...
His brother Chris, is also in jail.
and both of us
came together in the courtroom,
and then... I feel embarrassed,
The three of us, celebrating thanksgiving together,
me, Chris and Jason in the courtroom .
And they, uh...
think it's cool,
but as a father, it's very embarrassing.
by being here with my child...
- they're all imprisoned. - Yes, sir.
Then Jason and I were moved next place,
in the same hand cuffed,
and those events have never been thought in my life
like dreams... dreams that really happened,
the same baby, who we are....
we must bring it to bone marrow examination,
the same baby weighing 6 pounds.
- Tell me how you feel < br /> when you are being handcuffed together
with your child on the same bus.
Can you tell me?
- No, it's hard...
- Try to tell a little.
(delete)
Well, I don't know
I feel really failed, </ p >
fails to be a father,
- You can feel your hands that are very close together?
- Yes.
Yes, we handcuffed in my hand and his right hand.
and we sit dibus it, and what I feel...
is a total failure.
That's what I feel.
I I feel like a loser,
I say it indirectly in front of the judges,
and that's...
that's what I feel.
He has been ignored by his father...
and then, at that place we sat together
on the prison bus, and in my opinion...
There aren't many things that are more despicable than that...
I don't know.
is it me or him, has a chance </ p >
is out of jail again...
My law just added three more years...
about a week ago...
We... me or him will never come out again
- Jadi dia tidak akan keluar penjara lagi?
- I think so.
He will get his conditional release in...
in 1942
- 40 years after he was sentenced punishment.
- Yes, sir, in 1941. Sorry.
Yes, sir.
- Yeah, 2041. Too late a century...
- Yes. - Too late. </ P>
- 19 well, 2041. Sorry. </ P>
- Well , no problem. That's where he is free.
- Very long.
- Maybe because being here the time feels different.
- Yes, sir. </ P>
- Actually this is a car
that is in the garage of Sandra Stotler. </ P>
This is the first car
targeted by Michael Perry and Jason Burkett
Three lives were lost because of this car,
cars that were theirs
for no more than 72 hours
in the past few years,
this car has only become wrecked
first inside it,
because there are tree roots from below
that grew from the bottom right in the middle of it
and penetrated the car floor,
and that made us rather difficult
when I wanted to move it to this place
- There is a tree that collides from below.
- The tree grows from below...
spreads over the car.
- What the cause of their deaths?
- That becomes my question every day
Because of a car?
I don't understand...
Every day someone dies, it feels like someone has become brutal
you know, for 2 dollars
People robbing others, and I don't understand...
I don't understand why they die,
greed of the two young people.
I don't know
I haven't found the answer
p>
- Can you tell me about the condition you experienced as a family of murder victims?
It seems nobody's paying attention to this.
- I don't know...
- How do you survive this?
I got desperate
Then started a new life again,
but the point is I am alienating yourself...
In Montgomery there is a aid program for victims,
but when... all your members are taken away from you,
You will ask, the meaning of life...?
What is the point of us staying alive?
I don't have anyone to share...
raising my child.
I don't want them to live in sadness
or stay with a mother who is depressed throughout their lives.
For four years, I didn't go anywhere.
I'm always at home,
disconnecting my home phone.
I don't want to talk with anyone.
I assume, if I not close to anyone...
I won't get hurt again.
I don't know.
I'm alienating myself...
My grandmother is in seclusion.
Our lives are... empty...
very empty...
This is Adam,
when he was 16 years old
This is his last school photo
My brother, we are very familiar... </ p >
He is only 16 years old...
Actually, he is not my younger brother.
Sisaku... got pregnant when I was 16 years old,
then my parents took care of him,
when he was born, they were all out of town...
so I'm the first person to carry him,
and I have felt this for the rest of my life,
if something will happen to him,
I remember, I called my mother and asked,
"How is Adam? Where is he?"
You have to watch him... < br /> you just moved to Ohio.
"You have to really pay attention to it."
and my mother just answered, "I've raised 5 children. </ P>
I can take care of it. "</ P>
And when I turned 16, I know... if...
He's all right okay. He has become a man.
He can take care of himself now.
He's a great kid.
Who has felt falling in love for the first time.
And, one thing that makes us different,
my mother always protects me. </ P>
One that I remember,
I should have married...
Well, I got married on 16 September 1995,
my father, mel, a priest,
he who should have married me with Kenneth. </ P>
He died six months before the wedding. </ P>
Being hit by a train, he and my elder brother,
and our family dog. </ P>
then we got married... I refused married in church,
so we got married on a boat on Lake Conroe.
Right when I walked...
get out of the door, go down to the court...
my mother put on the marriage certificate of my book.
near my heart,
and said, "I don't want dad missed this marriage."
and, you know, that incident...
- You love him.
- Yes, and I know that time he feels sad,
but he hid it because I was happy.
He hid it for my sake,
and he... did this all day
I miss them very much.
Our family is incomplete, very incomplete.
Sometimes, when my child asks something,
I replied, "I don't know."
I want to know what my mother will be...
many things happened day and night.
I want to call and ask to him.
I haven't been able to realize if he's gone.
I still want to take the phone and call him
- this is the reason why you disconnect the telephone network?
- Yes, I... don't want to get another phone
who reported that my family died again. </ p >
I can't accept a phone like that again.
I'm totally unable to,
so I'm alienating myself from the outside world.
I can't... have a telephone.
Even to hear phone ringing sound
because I got the news badly from him
- Worst news. - Worst.
- not only bad, yeah.
You have to... deal with it.
- Yah. </ P>
What I mean is this,
I not only lost my mother and my father and sister
in a tragic way.
My grandfather got a stroke.
My uncle hung himself
My other uncle overdosed on heroin.
My adopted brother committed suicide due to cancer
My real father died while sleeping.
All of this happened in 6 years.
I lost all my family, all...
- Mr. Burkett, if you close your eyes
while imagining a different life
and can repeat everything from the beginning,
how will you raise your child?
- Yahh...
It's hard to answer something has never been done,
and, shamefully...
it's really embarrassing to say,
I want them to get...
I got a scholarship to Texas university
in 1973, through football,
and I stopped school ahead of my final year,
stop football and quit school and lose a scholarship,
I want to be able to return to that time.
- Yes, back then. </ P>
Now you have children. </ P>
- Then I have a child, and I will....
Do everything as I can
to help them finish school not like me. </ P>
always say to them, "Don't be like me." </ P>
Well, I want...
can be more meaningful and give them something worthy,
I want them to graduate from school.
I want to play basball together like I did
when I was little in a small league.
I want when we play baseball
both of them can make hit "one time"
I want us to be able to play together,
and I want to go to watch their football match.
and I developed their talents... in school to enter FFA
I want them to be like that.
we live
That's my wish if I could go back for all of us,
and... they go to school,
I saw one of my sons
playing the school bell...
and... in my opinion... it's something good.
it's a beautiful thing, </ p >
and will never happen.
- I want this conversation to be recorded
I want to say that my husband is not a boy scout.
I didn't say Jason Burkett at all... .
doesn't understand anything, like selling cookies
or looking for funds for camping when that event occurs
What I said was that Jason did not kill one, two or three people. </ P>
Sandra, Jeremy, and Adam not killed by Jason. </ P>
- You already asked...
you asked privately,
"Can you tell me how it happened?
because of course you want certainty.
what are you saying?
- I've said it many times
so that he tells me everything I need to know.
I said, " Jason... "
Jason doesn't have much money,
so we sell his things,
without asking for his approval,
me and his father have done everything to appeal,
I always say to him,
"I need to know all the things you can tell
to be able to free you,"
and generally we start conversations that way
and Jason will tell you back, again and again,
it feels like compile a snowman
like that happened
- Yah.
and you are told if he is innocent
- Yes. </ P>
- and you believe it. </ P>
- I believe it. </ P>
I... want to say, I'm trusting Jason is indeed involved.
I can't believe that he killed 3 people.
I wrote Jason for about 2 years
before I met him,
because all I could do was that via email,
< One day, I talked to his mother,
and he said something that pushed me...
"You can't guess what Jason said to me today, "
and I said," What? "
he said," He said that he fell in love with you. "
and I said, "That's crazy."
I remember... a little so you know... the beginning of this story,
I'm with my best friend, We are hanging out,
Kat's name, I said...
"Kat, Jason Burkett's falling in love with me."
Answered , "Sounds good
& apos; because you also fall in love with it."
I said, "What are you talking about?
" Don't be stupid, "
and he said, " When was the last time
"Are you dating?
" When was the last time you didn't spend your night
with Jason Burkett's court file? "
I replied, "Hey, don't say that."
But I finally left...
I still lived in Nebraska at that time.
I finally got a car from Omaha to Abilene
because I wanted to he said it straight away
and at that time he was swiped by Roberstson
- You took a car while 2 days 2 nights?
- Yes.
I drive myself... the trip feels like a long way...
I drive and get there,
and I remember, I said...
the words I first said.
Maybe I should have said "Hi, we haven't met at all",
"but... <
Your mother said, you fell in love with me. "
I didn't say that.
I'm a little shy of cats, so I said,
" Your mother told me that you conveyed something to her. "</ P>
I said," What... did you say to him? "</ P>
He replied, "I want a stamp?" </ P>
and I answered, "I'm not going to Abilene
" because you asked for a stamp, right? "</ P>
"Don't joke with me."
And he replied, "Oh, you mean when I say
if I fall in love with you?"
I immediately hung up the phone because I was very nervous,
and don't know what to say,
it feels like I'm coming in vain
I can't reply right away, "I love you too."
it's not like in a movie,
I'm very nervous.
I'm not a woman falling in love with an inmate
and I feel, alright It didn't matter,
then I left, the day I met Jason,
there was a rainbow at that place, and I didn't....
This is true. There are filled in our letters.
There is a rainbow circular from one fence...
to the other side of the fence,
and I think, it's a magic thing that indicates...
this guy is my soul mate
and... he is innocent,
How often can people see rainbows in full?
and we see the rainbow in full my friend is also present.
He saw that rainbow too. There is a witness
And when Jason...
When I go home, there is already a letter in my house,
it says, "Did you see the rainbow"
- Fenced in prison.
- Circles with one side out towards me,
goes in the direction of him.
- I'm sure of myself, I know if...
what happened in 2001.
I'm not part of it,
and I really believe... will be my belief ,
will be my lawyer, and the best results will be,
but at the same time, I ignore these walls.
I don't want to think about this place,
because if he is, people will lose their minds,
people will... people will go crazy.
Not long ago, a man committed suicide a few days ago,
and he left a severance contains,
"Live you guys in all this madness,
I go,"
this happened because he thought too much about it ,
but I don't.
I don't think too much about it.
I have to turn my attention...
By staying busy. Resolve my case. </ P>
I have a wonderful family,
there are many supporters who help me,
so many can divert me. </ P>
If I don't have enough transfer,
the possibility of the situation is different,
- How did you live your time in the current situation?
- Wow, very good...
is quite diverse, you know...
I forgot...
I really forgot,
and then when I look at the calendar
p>
or hear someone talk about it,
I said to myself, "Geez"
I sat down, just looked at the wall,
what happened "I live 8 days,
7 days, 6 days," or so on...
it's just that... I can't understand the reality
because the day is getting closer, you know...
it's hard for me to say it
like saying to someone "you know, 8 days,
this person will kill me, "
and there is something, difficult for me...
it's hard for me to believe
if Texas wants to kill me in eight days.
You know exactly what will happen on July 1?
- Well, execution day. Mm-hmm
- Will you be taken to Huntsville? </ P>
- Right, the Walls Unit. - The house of death? </ P>
- yes, sir
- and you will be examined by the medical team?
- I don't think so... the medical team isn't involved.
- I think...
are you ready for execution
- I haven't heard it yet, but it might be true.
- I think it's also one < br /> part of this impossibility.
For example, if you pass out,
you can't be executed.
- Oh, yeah?
- or if you are considered crazy or something...
- Well, yeah. - They won't execute you.
- Well, that's right.
- or you're having gunshot wounds,
they won't take you to the execution seat.
- Right.
They will take care of me first and then kill me, ha? </ P>
- Maybe, yes. </ P>
All of this... can be crazy if think about this, right ?
Well, I... I don't want to think about it.
I don't want to imagine myself lying in the execution chair.
but if this happened, I have to be ready, huh?
I have to accept it
and I will take care of my mother from heaven
with full calm and peace.
You know, all this time I like to say,
I'm not happy in my life,
so finally I will find peace, huh?
- And you already feel peaceful with your situation.
- Right now.
- Mm-hmm. It takes a long time.
- Yes, of course it is.
It takes a long time to realize the meaning " being a real "man.
I went out there like a child.
I acted childish when I first came here,
but I confident... who am I now.
- Michael Perry, I wish you the best
- well, thank you.
I don't know what will happen, huh?
We'll see. We will know...
I will know Monday later.
- I know that what I said before
will come true
I mean, I'm not want to say something... .
I want to say what will happen here
At 4:00, one person will come,
and take fingerprints
Immediately after,
they allow you to take a shower,
then you are allowed the freedom to choose clothes,
allows you to wear clothes like normal people.
Clothes like that you and me use now.
at 5:00 to 6:00, whatever your last request is,
they will provide,
and you will sit and eat your last meal.
During that time, if any other requests, can be requested.
want juice, alcoholic drinks... </ p >
or whatever, just ask.
You know, they...
sometimes there is a strange request.
and whatever it is, as long as it's still allowing us to provide it.
- Give one example of that request
- Oh, there used to be,
"A man, he wanted marijuana cigarettes."
You know, that's impossible. </ P>
A key holder, will unlock it,
then open the door. </ P>
There is another officer behind it </ p >
and one other officer behind me.
After the door opened, he followed me in,
and another officer
followed from behind him.
So there were two officers in... in front of the inmates,
and 3 officers behind him.
I told him to go up the execution train, </ p >
then I automatically...
- It's only a few steps from cell
- You could say no more than 10 steps.
I will circle the execution train
because my duty is to tie the left leg.
As soon as he lies down, I tie the left leg.
The other officer in front of me
will tie right foot.
The three remaining officers,
one ties the right hand,
the other binds the left hand,
and one guard -guard, in case the inmate,
after lying down,
tries to dodge,
his duty is holding his shoulders
You know, you can't...
as soon as the train goes up, must stay there
during that time,
all four of us will prepare him.
Maybe around 15 seconds.
he must be tied up as soon as possible,
& apos; because we already know where the rope is
and what we have to do.
The time needed. To do that process
we've trained it.
That's the last time, you can see... </ p >
I see it with my eyes open,
because after the execution is done
and the process is complete
then they call the doctor in
to ensure his death,
then everyone left.
Then I started to work again I have to go inside,
and... and this part...
feels difficult
because for 8 or 10 hours you sit with him
all day long,
and now, the last thing what you do
is to take off the string.
The string must be removed
and move the body to the train others for funerals.
And then, you think...
You can't think anything about all of this
when doing this work, this procedure.
don't harbor anything about all of this
don't involve emotions at that time
You do the work, go home.
- Approximately how many executions what have you done?
- More than 125, 120.
Approximately 120
Lots of it.
We to the point where, especially after I feel...
I thought I would be promoted to captain in the year 90
we did it twice a week,
and it's boring.
- Then what happens?
(clears throat)
I... stay when they...
When they bring Karla Faye comes in,
I live there with him.
He is the first woman
that we serve before being executed
one thing I clearly remember,
about an hour before,
and I stood there,
the priest was there too,
and he saw me, and said,
"Thank you, Captain, for everything you've done."
Kubalas, "You're welcome."
You know, that's all I can say ,
what can I say again?
what, "I'm serving you so ready to be executed one hour later"?
Time is running...
procedure and all goes as it should
He was declared dead.
I returned the room and took the train,
take off the rope,
move it to the train and clear it all
we lock everything, and continue the work,
and... and everything is fine.
I used to have a small shop in the back.
It was 6:00, there was news on the radio,
and this feeling came back, </ p >
unexpectedly, for some reason.
when I heard it, reminded I saw it in pain,
I started trembling.
I don't know what's wrong, after that...
- How severe are you trembling?
- Like... like... vibrate...
Bergerak...
I don't know... Why am I trembling ??
Then I realized that...
I'm sweaty and crying.
Everything happened suddenly, and it hurts...
I remembered him... it was exactly two days later.
I remember the day of his execution.
It made no difference to him with the others.
but I saw him,
then other inmates began to look...
as you asked, "Can I look into their eyes when... "
I can see it.
I see them again, in the prisoner's cell.
stand in line,
and maybe it sounds like...
My wife asks, "What's wrong with you?"
I answer I don't know.
I have to talk to someone.
and the first person flashed was Carroll,
Pastor at Pickett,
he came home,
We sat in the swing chair, and I started to calm down.
and me... he said, "What happened?"
then I told you...
after that, while looking at it I said ,
"I can't do it anymore.
That's enough, I stop."
I don't... can't go back there again "
- When do you think you haven't found yourself being?
but then you will be who you really are?
- Most likely.
- That thing came far from the bottom of your heart...
- Yes.
- You are aware.
- That's a good thing... very...
I mean, from that moment on,
I have a view of life
> different.
If the execution is legal,
with honesty.
After Karla... I used to agree with the death penalty.
After Karla Faye, and everything that happened,
to this day, 11 years after...
No, sir.
No one has the right to take someone else's life.
I don't care if is in accordance with the law
and it's very easy to change the law.
- I... don't want sound,...
like a bad person or...
but I'm very happy I was present at the execution.
I'm happy.
I struggled with myself... did I go there.
I have ordered... a seat so I have to come,
I'm glad I've been there.
I'm very happy.
I feel something.
- Yah. Apa yang anda rasakan?
- I don't... know what...
I don't know what happened,
but I... shortly after execution,
I feel like...
like, there is a heavy load that has been released.
I can breathe a sigh of relief.
It hurts my heart to diminish.
I remember when I was walking in
and I thought, "She's like a child."
I had imagined a scary look,
fierce, like a killer monster figure. </ P>
and it turns out he was just a boy. </ P>
Still young lying in the train of execution
When I enter, he looks at me,
then turns away, and looks at me again.
as done < br /> Jason Burkett when in court.
I am similar to my mother.
Very similar to mother.
- what did he say?
- He forgives us.
He forgives us.
Yah.
I entered with
I'm crying.
My family,... my whole family,
you know, we don't want anyone's death. </ p >
Anyone won't want... to witness such an execution
but we go there for my mother's sake, you know, and my sister,
we cried, when it was said he forgave us...
- For what?
- for his death sentence?
then he said, < br /> he is ready to die.
I heard his mother crying,
then they injected her.
Her breath panted, 4 times
I see the shirt is beating,
kau tahu, karena detakan jantungnya.
I see until the beat stops, at 6:14
A drop of tears drops, one drop
he's gone. the execution is complete.
- What about the possibility if someone
is imprisoned for life without parole,
are you satisfied...
- Certainly. - Yes.
- Certainly.
- so that can be used as an alternative...
because the death penalty seems too excessive
as in the old covenant, God's wrath.
- Eyes are replaced by eyes.
- Jesus might not defend them...
- Probably not. </ P>
Maybe not. </ P>
But there are humans who are not worthy of life. </ P>
/ p>
- Can I say something? - Please
executing Michael,
I really know Michael.
- Yah.
- I keep abreast of developments...
with various clippings and websites
things about him and Jason.
there is one full box.
So I know everything like everyone else...
Michael is just... he is like Jason...
They are young,
are they really guilty or not, I don't know.
I'm not there, but Michael is just a person...
young people... little children, and I know him...
I know when his execution, I know him...
I know the last word, I know all,
By executing Michael,
I don't think it will return those killed,
and still can't protect anyone ..
won't protect anyone out there
as reported, nothing is protected,
and I'm not sure that will solve the problem
by taking people's lives, and this hurts.
The time of execution arrives,
I know it starts around at 6:00,
usually done several minutes after 6:00,
I'm kneeling on my bed,
praying for Michael,
there are feelings that come
about 5 or 10 minutes after hours 6:00
the feeling that comes to me is difficult...
very, very difficult to explain. </ P>
Like feeling lost...
the person who used to be a good friend of my child.
I feel... I feel that...
I feel tortured when they kill him.
I can only hope for his family.
every member of his family knows what I feel,
how much I was hurt for their loss.
This is very important, < br /> and Michael never,...
makes them sad,
because Michael never tried to contact them.
I hope to convey my apologies.
- Yah.
Melyssa, let me submit one thing.
Among the death row inmates,
there is a phenomenon with the presence of sympathizers of prisoners for life,
as well as sympathizers / fans of rock singers,
you've met with a woman like that.
- I've met them, full of sincerity.
I've also met a woman who married a prisoner for life
having a relationship with commitment
I'm sure the relationship is full of sincerity
that comes from the bottom of their hearts.
You know, there are people who really destined to be together,
even if separated by cell or law officer.
I believe that.
I mean, I believe if
not a few women who want to get attention,
who are looking for fame, who are looking for bad reputation men.
like Scott Peterson who received 100 letters a day. </ P>
during a life sentence in California. </ P>
That's ridiculous...
- He killed his wife /> who is pregnant
- Yes.
- Is that really the case? Well... a handsome man.
- A handsome man.
- however, Jason is also not a bad guy.
Describe it to us?
- physically? - Yes.
You can only touch his hand.
Describe how his hand is.
- His hand is far more bigger than my hand.
I started from that. < br /> My hands are really small.
He always... Jason holds deng fun
he always holds my hand like this
with the opposite connection, that's how he holds me,
and I know his hand is very large.
because of the size of the ring 11
Our marriage ring, as heavy as 111/2,
for me 4, so his hand really can close my hand
- You are allowed to touch each other?
Hugs each other?
exchange rings?
- No.
I still don't wear a ring. </ P>
- You keep being separated a glass wall or...
- Just like this
except by telephone,
we are separated by glass
- But when he visits you, are you allowed to hug him?
- Now you can.
After we get married, I am allowed. </ P>
I may kiss it before and after the visit. </ P>
We may hold hands on the table.
can contact each other and talk to each other.
- But of course... there is a guard
- as close as our current distance
- You want to have children. </ P>
- Yes, sir. </ P>
- Bagaimana bisa?
How... what choices do you have?
- I want 50 children. He wants 2.
I mean, we have to do it.
I want children for different reasons.
I want a child from him because I love him.
I want to be with him. </ P>
I want to give him something that will belong to both of us
- I'm very impressed meet you at this time. </ P>
because you were pregnant only a few days
after we met your husband.
- Did you meet him on the date October 18?
- Looks like , well, that's about it.
- Well, my guess is that my baby "has"
since around October 23,
- After we met your husband,
- 23 or 24.
- You "do it".
Something like that.
- The father of this baby is your husband.
- Legally Jason.
- and biologically Jason...
- You can't say that. - In a different connection.
You are only allowed to hold hands,
how can you get pregnant?
Like there is & apos; mystery & apos;
- Well, you could say that.
There are other people involved, I don't want to call it.
- No, we're not accusing someone...
but I'm speculating.
Is there really some kind of back door in prison,
like for example, drugs, cellphones, dark messages,
what is behind this,
smuggling inmates out of prison,
then you can get pregnant.
- Well, we...
- Bisa kami simpulkan seperti itu?
- We... prefer to say if I follow "artificial fertilization".
- Have a name for the baby?
- Well, his first name is Easton
Easton Aaron.
- Can you show it? It looks like his face has been seen.
Can you show it? - Right here.
If you look closely,
can be seen if my baby has a strong jaw.
Life is for kids.
and the love they get.
is the provision for their lives.
My parents have died,
and feel a deep emptiness This is in my heart,
then I realize if my responsibility is,
continue all the love I have ever gotten first,
that's what is especially true.
- I hanged this shirt on the wall of my room.
- Can I see the clothes? Can it be rotated?
- I just want to make sure... < br /> someone told me about...
underwent & apos; line & apos; you,
and that is true, after all this...
what I have lived, then stop and so on,
then I heard the story about & apos; go with your account & apos;
How do we & apos; undergo the line & apos; us?
I don't understand.
"What is meant by & apos; line & apos;?"
& apos; Lines & apos; what is meant by is a tombstone
There is a date of birth,
and there is also a date of death,
and in the middle there is & apos; line & apos;
That is the life we are living.
That's where all of
at birth until the time of your death.
How are you going to go through that line?
And that's where I am right now.
I will undergo & apos; line & apos; ku and make sure that everything...
try everything that is useful for family and many people.
with pleasure in undergoing it and watching what happens.
When you go through your life like that,
you will enjoy a beautiful life.
you can... realize there will be many things that can be done,
as can be done by birds, ducks, hummingbirds.
